Your First Visit

During your first visit with us, we will provide you with a dental cleaning and examination. We may also provide:

  • Digital x-rays
  • Dental consultation
  • Oral cancer screening
  • Treatment plan recommendations

By thoroughly examining the teeth and gums, we can effectively diagnose problems like tooth decay, bite problems, or gum disease. We will also review your dental history and current concerns so that we may propose treatment. You will also receive oral hygiene instructions and other suggestions to help you maintain your teeth and gums.

The Importance of Routine Dental Appointments

Routine dental care allows our dentists to look for the early signs of dental problems. These visits also reinforce good dental hygiene. Maintaining the teeth and gums also improves long-term physical and oral health. Common dental problems like gingivitis or gum disease may seem minor but can get out of control if it is not caught by a dentist. Gum inflammation caused by gum disease can put patients’ heart health at risk. The bacteria that cause gum disease can enter the bloodstream, exacerbating heart attacks, disease, and strokes.
